407, Big Job at the Sword Forge (2/2)
"The blood of ghosts and gods in this bottle is very special... it is truly weird blood. It is really miraculous to use it to carve ink patterns on people's bodies." Su Wu tightened the lid of the small iron pot and put in the killing stone. In the iron box.
Then he unfolded the animal skin scroll,
I saw a long dragon covered with colorful feathers painted on the scroll.
The dragon shape has an indescribable charm,
It seems that it will break free from the shackles of the paper roll at any time and really take off.
Just by looking at the ink painting carved on the animal skin, Su Wu could detect its charm. Its spiritual richness was far stronger than the ink painting of the 'Taishan Hundred Demons and Cannibals Banquet'.
"Such an ink painting,
Should it be included in the list of the thirty-six high-quality ink scrolls that flowed into Dongliu Island from the Tang Dynasty? "Su Wu started talking, and Qingzi, who was sitting across a desk from him, looked up at him, pursed her lips and said nothing.
He looked at the ink drawing for a while, then rolled it up and put it in the iron box.
Fasten the iron box,
Pushing it in front of Haruko: "I already have the Taishan Hundred Demon Ogre Banquet, so I no longer need this ink painting.
Miss Haruko should deal with it on her own. "
"Didn't Abu read the note in the iron box?
My father left this ink painting, saying that he made a promise with Uncle Axiong.
I want to give him the blood of ghosts and gods in the iron box.
Even if this inked picture is of no use to Abu,
In the future, you can also use the blood of ghosts and gods to ignite the ‘Taishan Hundred Demons and Cannibal Feast’ on your body. "Qingzi looked at the iron box pushed in front of her by Su Wu and spoke softly.
Su Wu glanced at Qingzi who lowered his head and did not look at him.
Smiling silently,
Said: "I have many ways to obtain the blood of ghosts and gods.
But currently,
The only way for Miss Haruko to obtain the blood of ghosts and gods is this. "
He sat upright,
Haruko also looked up at him, her cheeks pink: "How do you know what I'm thinking..."
What’s so hard to see through a child’s mind?
The emotions are written all over his face.
Su Wu did not answer Qingzi's question, but said: "Miss Qingzi, for the next period of time, I will concentrate on practicing at An Gang Sword Forging Institute. In addition to learning the ghost and god forging method as soon as possible, I will also start to cast my own second sword." Got the knife.
so,
Many affairs of our family need to be decided by Miss Haruko alone. "
"Ah, I don't have this idea..." Qingzi looked at Su Wu in panic, "Abu-kun, are we not cooperating well? Why did you make such a decision suddenly?"
“I will arrange for Nobuo Takeda, Taro Mikami, and Yayoi to assist Miss Haruko.
Dependent on others, after all, you can only get temporary peace.
Only when you are strong can you gain eternal security. "Su Wu looked into Qingzi's eyes and continued, "Miss Qingzi, make yourself stronger as soon as possible. Only when you are strong can you
Then I won’t be afraid,
You will not always worry that you will be involved and your status will be marginalized and threatened due to changes in the external environment and other people's attitudes. "
Hearing this, Qingzi looked at Su Wu blankly,
After a while, there was suddenly water vapor in the eyes, and tears fell from the corners of the eyes to the cheeks.
She pursed her lips and said, "Abu, thank you for thinking about this for me...Thank you..."
Haruko has a strong personality, how could she not think about her future?
However, she now has to rely on Abu to maintain her own survival. If she wants to be independent, the first step is to step out of Abu's shadow - the cost of this is too high, far beyond what she and the entire Inoue family can do. bear.
But what she didn't expect was that
Abu will take the initiative to consider this issue,
She moved out of the way, allowing her to escape from the shadows and truly take the first step of independence.
Moreover, the other party is even willing to use his own strength to support her independence.
At this moment, a ray of light finally appeared in Haruko's already dark and cold heart.
At this moment, various emotions such as shame, warmth, sourness, and joy accumulated in Miss Haruko's chest. She could only say thank you repeatedly, without any extra thoughts in her mind.
Su Wu looked at the way tears kept pouring out of her eyes and sighed silently.
From the beginning of the ceremony of being worshiped as the elder of the family, he gradually realized that his existence was both a protection and a threat to this noble lady. The more he intervened in the affairs of the Inoue family, the more her sense of crisis became. powerful,
But the less involved, or even completely uninvolved, in the affairs of the Inoue family, the stronger her insecurity became.
now,
He finally found a balance point for the time being - doing his own thing calmly, but not reducing his deterrence to the Inoue family samurai. In this way, he can gradually make the Inoue family samurai who have gathered now respect him in awe, and through time Overlapping, transferred to Haruko.
Give her the power to independently control the Inoue family and intimidate the retainers,
By this time,
You can retire successfully.
Feel free to dig into the veins of killing stones in Jade Mountain.
“During this period, Miss Haruko and Nobuo Takeda learned swordsmanship and strengthened their bodies.
When Miss Haruko's body can withstand the secret ritual of the 'Dragon of One Hundred Thoughts Entering Ink', I can help Miss Haruko carve this ink drawing.
Master a power similar to the power of ghosts and gods,
It was enough for Miss Haruko to gain a foothold in Boqi Country. "Su Wu then arranged.
"good."
Haruko nodded.
He reached out and pushed the last thing on the table - the secret key to unlock the 'Jade Mountain Killing Stone Mine' - the 'Dashang Baby Stone' in front of Su Wu: "The meridians engraved with the dragon of Baixiang ink pattern All on this stone,
I gave it to Abu,
Abu got to know me as soon as possible, and he must be more careful when helping me engrave the ink drawings in the future. "
The most valuable ‘Dashang Infant Stone’ with a vein of killing stone behind it was presented to Su Wu by Haruko in a joking tone.
But such a gift is extremely serious,
Like a secret promise between two people.
Su Wu nodded: "I will carefully familiarize myself with the meridians above."
Haruko looked up at him, her tears turning into a smile.
Soon after, Qingzi left Su Wu's residence.
Su Wu carefully put away the 'Oshang Baby Stone' and 'Tie-Gui Rope' on the note, and ordered the servants waiting at the door to summon Takeda Nobuo, Mikami Taro, and Yayoi.
Two men and one woman gathered in his residence.
He explained his arrangements to the three people,
A secret spell was cast for each of them silently,
He ensured that once they broke the promise they made in front of him, they would die of intestinal rupture and rottenness in an instant, so he invited them out of the residence.
After lunch,
Su Wu changed into coarse clothes.
He covered himself with the 'Chrysanthemums and Willows in Ink Painting' that had been stripped from the body of 'Tsuchimikado Shoyu', hung the 'Big Red Lotus Fetus' on his waist, and left the Inoue family's manor.
‘Chrysanthemums and Willows’ is an ink painting on the same level as ‘Dragon of Baeksang’.
They are all among the thirty-six high-grade ink paintings sent back to Dongliu Island.
Su Wu was already familiar with the use of this ink painting.
Use it to train your sword,
There are no problems anymore.
After the Inoue family suffered great changes, Su Wu still practiced several times at An Gang Sword Forging Institute.
In the middle, 'Master Kira' also carved a tattoo on his body with an ink painting.
Advance the completion progress of ‘Taishan Hundred Demons and Cannibal Banquet’.
but,
These past few times, 'Master Kira' was under the influence of Su Wu's spirit and had various hallucinations, and finally engraved the ink pattern on the 'terma paper', but he was still immersed in the hallucination without knowing it.
At present, Ji Liang of the Sword Forging Factory and many other craftsmen all thought that Su Wu had reached one-fifth of the degree of completion of the 'Taishan Hundred Demons and Cannibals' Banquet'.
Little did he know that there was no trace of the ink painting on Su Wuzhen's body.
As for the part of the ink pattern engraved on the terma paper,
Not long after the pattern was engraved, it disappeared from the paper, which made Su Wu understand that terma paper was not suitable for carrying ink pictures.
in the street market,
The severely damaged courtyard of the Inoue family has begun to be dismantled and rebuilt.
Su Wu looked around the courtyard and then went to An Gang Sword Forging Factory.
Before anything happened to the Inoue family, he and Omu would go to the sword forging place together. Omu talked along the way, and the journey was not lonely. Now Omu is the leader of the servants and has to do a lot of work every day.
The schoolwork at the Sword Forging Institute has been completely abandoned.
It's not even possible to pick it up again.
Su Wu could only go back and forth between the sword-making workshop and the Inoue family's manor alone.
Qingzi originally wanted to pair him with a horse for him to use, but he rejected it with a wave of his hand.
-The horses are too small,
He was worried that he would crush the horse to death if he rode on it.
The stone wall where the sword was made appeared in Su Wu's field of vision.
Following the dusty road at his feet, past the low wooden houses, Su Wu walked into the sword forging house.
Within several rooms,
The sound of weapons being forged was endless.
Su Wu took a look at the house where the craftsmen forged weapons, and immediately a bare-chested craftsman with tattoos carved in ink on his body greeted him: "Jun Zhuzhao!
Master Kotetsu and Kira are both in the special sword-making room!
Master An Gang knows you are coming today,
He specifically told me,
When you come over, you can go directly to the dedicated sword-making room! "
"Thank you." Su Wu nodded, glanced at the house, and found that several craftsmen were missing, so he asked the craftsman who reminded him aloud, "Master Oda, Master Qingshi, go Where is it?"
"Also in the dedicated sword-making room!
I was left to be sharpened by a fine weapon.
I’m going to the dedicated sword-making room later too! "The craftsman polished the knife in his hand and said without raising his head when he heard Su Wu's inquiry.
So many craftsmen gathered in a dedicated sword-making room?
A great job has come to the swordsmithing place?
Su Wu moved his mind, and after saying goodbye to the sword-sharpening craftsman, he immediately entered An Gang's special sword-making room.
A small sword-making room,
It was crowded with more than ten craftsmen.
As soon as he entered the room, Su Wu heard Master An Gang's call: "Little friend Zhuzhao, come to me!"
The craftsmen all looked at Su Wu who squeezed in the door.
They made way for him in a tacit understanding.
The tall Su Wu crossed the crowd and stood beside the great craftsman An Gang.
In front of him were piles of killing stones like a hill.
Those killing stones are mostly like lifelike heads of living people, mixed with some placenta-like stones.
——The quality of the killing stone is extremely high,
They are all head stones and placenta stones!
Seeing so many killing stones, Su Wu raised his eyebrows, convinced that the sword-making place was really doing a big job!
